For a lighter batter, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with rice flour. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; otherwise, the blossoms will absorb too much oil and become soggy. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking. The batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Whisk lightly before using. For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter. Serve immediately, they are best when fresh!
